 ANALYSIS OF HWCs

1. Rs 1,200 Crore has been allotted; rest from state

2. ‘Rate limiting factor’ - MLHPs or CHO, ANM with training

3. Underserve their primary objectives (promotive and preventive)

4. Upgrading SCs to HWCs without matching referral setup can be

counterproductive

 SWOT ANALYSIS

AYUSHMAN BHARAT PROGRAM

28/09/2018 35
 STRENGTHS

1. Apparent shift from ‘disease specific’ and ‘Reproductive and child health’

2. From ‘poor only’ to expanded approach of vulnerable and deprived population

3. Seemingly high level of political commitment

4. Acknowledgement of linkage between better health and economic growth of India

5. Well-functioning primary healthcare system - potential to cater 80-90% of health needs

28/09/2018 36
 WEAKNESSES

1. HWCs: only part of primary healthcare system

2. Private sector & insurance: limited to financial viability

3. Out-patient department visits: not part of PM-JAY

4. Moral hazards

5. Impersonation

28/09/2018 37
 OPPORTUNITIES

1. Alignment with NHP 2017 and NITI Aayog’s three year Action Agenda 2017-20.

2. Media attention - can bring desired public accountability to expedite implementation

3. Progressive universalization: UHC is about everyone, everywhere!

4. Global and national level focus on universal health coverage (UHC)

5. Upcoming general elections and assembly elections in a number of states

6. Potential - innovative models and strategies for strengthening entire healthcare system

28/09/2018 38
 THREATS

1. Change in the political leadership or the priorities of the elected governments

2. Limited buy-in and interest by the Indian states: state’s own schemes

3. Challenge in availability of mid-level care providers

4. Focus on these components only and the other broader health system needs ignored

5. Disproportionate focus on one of two initiatives in ABP
